Apple had been counting on new artificial intelligence features to make the iPhone 16 a major hit. But pre–sale estimates point to a more muted early response than Apple had hoped.

Apple has been a 'little disingenuous with its marketing' with AI + iPhone 16: some features missing until 2025, some 'nowhere near as capable' as rival AI.

Apple Intelligence is one of the big new features for iPhone 16, but it's impossible to care when it's still not available.

October, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman claims. But Genmoji, Image Playground, and other highly anticipated features will see a staggered release.

Previously, Apple was reported to be interested in AI investment with OpenAI. However, it was said that the iPhone maker had withdrawn from the negotiation.

Apple has reportedly exited negotiations to invest in OpenAI, the company behind the popular ChatGPT AI chatbot, according to The Wall

Ever since Apple introduced Apple Intelligence, we found out that the company was pretty cozy with OpenAI. It wasn’t until recently that we found out how close their partnership was with rumors of the iPhone maker investing in the AI tech start-up.
